Required Textbooks and materials
No books, just
your brains, in perfect working order.
ATTENDANCE AND LATENESS POLICY
Because we only meet for 90 minutes
once per week, attendance at all meetings is mandatory. Each absence will
result in a penalty to your participation grade. Being absent is designated as
not showing up for class, showing up after roll has been called, or leaving class while class is still in
session without permission.?
?
You are responsible for what you miss
If you are late or absent, you are
still responsible for any material you missed including assignments.? Your first recourse should be to get
notes from a fellow student.? If you
still have any questions about what was covered and how in-class work can be
made up, contact your professor as soon as possible. ?Please be aware that
certain in-class assignments cannot properly be made up if missed.? Missing such assignments will affect
your grade.
?
Advance Notice
If you know in advance that you will
be absent, please let me know in advance.?
Advance notice tells me you care and predisposes me to help you with
what you missed.
?
Emergencies and Documentation:
If you missed a class due to a true
personal or family emergency, contact me as soon as possible.? If verifying documentation is supplied
and authenticated, this type of absence may (not will) be excused from affecting
your grade.
?
EMAIL
Email is the primary means of
communication between the professor and the students enrolled in the course
outside of class time.? Students
should be sure their email listed under ?demographic information? in the campus
connect system is current and correct.
?
D2L
Written Assignments should be
submitted online via D2L by the deadline stated on the D2L dropbox. ?Other pertinent documents and information
may be posted on D2L throughout the quarter.?
?
ASSIGNMENTS
Reasonable deadlines are given for
completion for each assignment.?
Consequently, late assignments will not be accepted without prior
consent of the instructor. If late work is accepted, it will be marked down.
?
Content & Scheduling Changes
Depending on time factors, the
assignments projected for the term (and therefore the grading scale) may
require alteration or rescheduling.?
Students will be notified of any changes and should follow the most
recent schedule or deadline provided.
?
Food Policy:
Food is NOT allowed in the
classroom.? A water bottle or
beverage is ok but please keep a lid on it to avoid spills.
?
Class Discussion:
Student participation in class discussions will be measured in two ways.? First, students are highly encouraged to
ask questions and offer comments relevant to the day?s topic.? Participation allows the instructor to
?hear? the student?s voice when grading papers.?
?
Attitude: A
professional and academic attitude is expected throughout this course.? Measurable examples of non-academic or
unprofessional attitude include but are not limited to: talking to others when
the instructor is speaking, mocking another?s opinion, cell phones ringing,
emailing, texting or using the internet whether on a phone or computer.? If any issues arise a student may be asked
to leave the classroom.? The
professor will work with the Dean of Students Office to navigate such student
issues.
?
Civil Discourse:
DePaul University is a community that thrives on open discourse that
challenges students, both intellectually and personally, to be Socially
Responsible Leaders.? It
is the expectation that all dialogue in this course is civil and respectful of
the dignity of each student.? Any
instances of disrespect or hostility can jeopardize a student?s ability to be
successful in the course.? The
professor will partner with the Dean of Students Office to assist in managing
such issues.
?
Cell Phones/On Call:? If you bring a cell phone to class,
it must be off or set to a silent mode. Should you need to answer a call during
class, students must leave the room in an undisruptive manner. Out of respect
to fellow students and the professor, texting is never allowable in class. If
you are required to be on call as part of your job, please advise me at the
start of the course.

Changes to
Syllabus
This
syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter.? If a
change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under
Announcements in D2L and sent via email.
Online
Course Evaluations
Evaluations
are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor
and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously
tailor teaching methods and course content to meet the learning goals of the
course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course
and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching.
The evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track
who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed
the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely separate from the student?s
identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic
reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they
complete the evaluation. Students complete the evaluation online in?CampusConnect.
